C'HILDS CARRIAGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 487,050, dated November29, 1892.'`

Application tiled June 14, 1892. Serial No. 436,668. (No model.)

To afZZ whom/ it may concern:

Be it known that we, FRANK HELLER and KALLMAN HIRSCH, both of New Yorkcity, New York, have invented an Improved Cornbined Childs Carriage andCradle, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to aeombined childs carriage and cradleof'peculiar construction; and it consists in the various features ofirnproveinentlnorefully pointedoutintheclaims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a longitudinal section of ourimproved childs carriage and cradle with the box raised. Fig. 2 is asimilar section with the box lowered; Fig. 3, a front view of Fig. 2with post h broken away; Fig. 4, a top view of the runninggear with thewheels removed.

The letters a a represent the front and rear axles of a carriage,connected to the side bars b, carrying the handle c, as usual. To theside bars b there are attached a pair of springs d, carryin g thetransverse rests or f eet e. Upon the rests e there is set the removablebox or bodyf of the carriage. It is held in place by means of a springg, secured at its ends to the side bars b and carrying at its center ahook g, that engages an eye f', depending downwardly from the center ofthe bottom f2 ot' box f.

To the center of the axles c a there is secured a longitudinal bar h2,the ends of which are bent up to constitute a front upright post h and arear upright post h', which are thus intimately connected with eachother and with the running-gear. Each post is pro vided at its upper endwith a hook h3 h4. The boxfis provided at its front and rear with theeye f3 and chain f4, which may be made to engage with the hooks. Whenthe box f is lowered upon the rests e and is attached by means of thehook g and eye f', the device constitutes a childs carriage; but if thehook g is disengaged from the eye f and the box is raised and suspendedfrom the hooked uprights h h the device constitutes a cradle, which willrock freely. It will be seen that when converted into a cradle the box f-does not rock upon the running-gear, but is freely suspendedover thesame. Thus there is not a constant jar upon the wheels, the extent oflateral motion is increased, and but a slight expenditure of power isrequired.

What we claim is- A Yl. The combination of a childs carriagegear havingfrontand rear axles a a', with springs d, rests e, supported thereby, alongitudinal bar h2, secured to the center of the axles and havingupwardly-bent forward and rear ends to constitute posts h h', and with acarriage-body adapted to be suspended from said posts, substantially asspecified.

2.. The combination ot a childs carriagegear having front and rear axlesa a and side bars b, with springs d, rests e, supported thereby, alongitudinal bar h2, secured to the center ot' the axles and havingupwardly-bent forward and rear ends, a detachable body f, having aneyef, and with a springg, secured to the side bars and having hook g forengaging the eye, substantially as specified.
